Active participation, regular attendance, completion of project and individual tasks

The assessment is as follows: 60%=60 points for successful completion of all tasks in the GVTs project. The quality of the exchange outputs will depend on the quality of students' input; 40%=40points for a written reflection based on the project teamwork critical incidents.

There is no end of semester examination.

The subject focuses on development of teamwork competence in global virtual teams in the business environment. The students will receive in-class input based on theoretical background and hands-on practice to be able to carry out team project work among five European universities (CR, Germany, Ireland, France, Finland). The teams work as consultants providing a small or medium-sized enterprise with recommendations for developing a digital corporate communication strategy for a country in which the enterprise is currently not operating, but to which it is considering expanding. In the course plan, there are three synchronous project workshops in which the teams meet and work together on the project tasks. As a project follow-up, the students write individually a reflection based on critical incidents collected throughout the project work.
